Dear Practitioners

Having just celebrated the beautiful festival of Krishna Janamashtami, let us reflect upon Swami’s message on this holy day: “Krishna was the embodiment of love. Hence, love is the virtue He appreciates most. Love has to turn into concrete acts of compassion. Cultivate compassion and develop sympathetic understanding, until you reach the goal of merging in the embodiment of love, Krishna. There are many among you who are engaged in sadhana. What is the basic purpose of sadhana? Each exercise of the sadhak (spiritual aspirant) is a stream that moves on to the sea of Grace. Believe that the love that prompts you to serve and sympathise is a spark of the love of God.” - Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 14 Aug 1979, Krishna Jayanti, Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 14 (1978 - 80). It is our good fortune that Sai has blessed us with the spark of His love in order to serve through the medium of Sai Vibrionics.

It gives me great joy when I see how the number of camps we are organising increases each quarter. From April to June this year, 509 vibro camps were held at 109 venues, five of which were newly inaugurated. 133 practitioners treated a remarkable 15,348 patients!

Contributing to the 2022 Sri Sathya Sai Prematharu program undertaken by the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust to plant 10 million trees by Swami’s centenary celebrations, 17 practitioners decided to kick-off their own initiative, sprinkling Plant Tonic  on trees in public and private places. We encourage other practitioners to join them in this noble endeavour and document your results for our records and research.

In a somewhat worrying development, on 14 Aug 2024, WHO declared the upsurge of monkeypox, mpox for short, to be a public health emergency of international concern. Our research team has been working on a suitable remedy for this disease for some time now, and has given us a wonderful combo for its treatment. Further details can be found in the In Addition section of this newsletter along with more information on the aforementioned initiatives.

Six months ago (Vol 15 Issue 2), we had proposed three books as collective offerings to Swami on His centenary celebrations - a book of 100 case histories, a book of 100 vibrionics camps and a book featuring 100 extraordinary experiences with vibrionics. I extend a huge thank you to those who have sent us contributions towards the same. We have received several articles about camps and cases, but only very few for the book of experiences. I would like to outline some suggestions as to what qualify as extraordinary experiences to help nudge you to write down yours. You may write about vibhuti appearing on your vibro kit, a remedy for a particular patient appearing through a dream or by randomly opening the relevant page in  your book, a unique way that Swami guided you to become a practitioner/treat a particular patient, repeated spectacular results with a specific remedy, a miraculous cure (eg, an instant cure or cure of an incurable disease). Sometimes a bottle or pills inside it have disappeared, indicating that remedy is no longer needed. Don’t worry if you are not able to write it up perfectly or that some details are missing. All it needs to qualify for publication is to be an interesting and inspiring read!

While this is regarding our collective offering to Swami, we may all set some personal vibrionics-related goals as well. Even for the most dedicated of practitioners, there is room for improvement! You may determine to increase your patient count from the previous week/month, choose to learn about a particular organ or system in the body, talk about vibrionics to those who may potentially wish to become practitioners, or decide to treat animals or plants in your surrounding area (perhaps, spray some remedy on them once a day/week). These are mere suggestions; feel prompted from within to work towards bettering your practice in a meaningful manner.

Next month we celebrate the ten-day long festival of Navaratri and Dussehra. Every year at this time, the powerful Veda Purusha Saptaha Yajna is conducted in Prashanti Nilayam. On 8 Oct 1981, on the conclusion of the yajna on Vijaydasami day, Swami said, “To experience God as Omnipresent, to be aware of nothing other than God - this is true surrender. To see God everywhere and in everything at all times is true Sharanagathi..…Devotion cannot tolerate in the devotee the slightest trace of envy or jealousy. Make your daily life holy and pure. Render your life worthwhile through service to man and service to society. That is the most important aspect of surrendering the self.” (Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 15 (1981 - 82))

Let us endeavour to light a fire in our hearts to surrender the self and sanctify our lives in loving service of the Lord. 

In loving service to Sai
